Road to VR reported a single 12MP Sony IMX681 sensor, not two. Android Central separately reported Samsung is adding autofocus, unusual among smart glasses, which mostly use fixed-focus cameras.
Samsung's rumored Galaxy Glasses are shaping up around a 12MP Sony IMX681 camera with autofocus, a camera sensor, not the fixed-focus snappers stuffed into most smart glasses. At around 50 grams, they're light enough to wear all day, and photochromic lenses (lenses that darken automatically in sunlight) mean you don't need a separate pair of sunglasses. Nothing here is confirmed yet, but the spec list reads like Samsung took the category seriously.
